Old fashioned ball

Just dreaming of days of old

The nod of head
The blushing red
The curtsy bow
The inner glow
The shimmer pearls
The circled twirls
The petticoat lace
That shows under fabrics space
The satin gowns
The stately ground
The men so gallant
Their pipes cigars so
Terribly fragrant
The wistful looks
As partners booked
The orchestral theme
At one with being
The dance has ended
The men retreat
To whisky sour
The women chatter
And rest assured
They'll be at the
Next grand old fashioned
New Years ball
